Airport standby

What a great shot, love the feeling here, kinda dark and moody, but shiny and bright at the same time..

Great way to deal with difficult shooting conditions, the chrome and black are nearly impossible to capture well in basic, but your treatment of just blowing out the whites and keeping deep blacks really worked for this image..

Hold on. My other phone is ringing.

Great capture! The shot seems a bit over sharpened, but still a really great juxtapositioning here!!

What an odd piece of art. I love that the phone is, as it almost always is, missing.... Poor kid looks pretty dumb standing there for eternity holding an imaginary telephone..

Poor old thing!! What's funny is that it looks like a very modern design..

Cleaver! I love the implication here, very creative..

Technically you've got horrible lighting conditions here, although that did lead to a great shadow, but blew out the whites while leaving the shadows in darkness... Sooo, hmm.. Love the photo, technicals are weak, but who cares, it's still an awesome shot!

Excellent perspective! There are several really wonderful shots of phone parts that I've really enjoyed, I like your shallow DOF and the dusty weathered nature of the shot!

Hmm, grainy goodness! I almost feel this this must have been taken with a camera phone, as there's tons of noise and chromatic aberration..

Still, a cool capture of a very unusual scene, thanks!!

Nah, everything looks like it turns the normal direction on this phone.. :)

Really though, a good photo that just does a nice job of showing a modern payphone..

If he's not a model, he's surely wondering what the heck you're up to! :)

I think the tilt is a cleaver way to deal with a difficult to photograph subject, that both adds motion and removes distractions.

I really do wish there was some real white in this image, as it's just a bit gray as it is..

What the hell is that? It's either a phone booth on a bridge of some sort, or, well, a phone booth ride on a bridge of some sort....

Frankly this is a puzzling image, and I like it very much!

Lighting was pretty harsh here, but you get what you get sometimes!
